    Metal Gear Solid HD Collection

    Couldn't resist getting hold of this today. I'm playing on the 360, duh.

    MGS2 and 3 are on one disc and Peace Walker is on the 2nd disc.
    Dived straight into Snake Eater (my favourite) I've played MGS2 several times through and I can't bare to play it again I don't think.

    Snake Eater looks just like I remember but now is totally devoid of jaggies (It has loads of Anti-aliasing, so looks incredibly silky)
    Also runs at a totally stable 60FPS which also makes it unsettlingly smooth.

    The graphics looks very faithful to the original game, unlike the recent Halo upgrade. Character textures have clearly had the biggest upgrade, although are of a correct level of clarity to not look ridiculous with the original character models.
    Not all the textures have been updated, disappointingly I've seen quite a few blurry tree textures and an original cloud/skybox textures which looks floats by looking utterly ****e in all fairness.

    Controls are fine, but much like the Twin Snakes the lack of analog buttons on the 360 makes putting away your weapon without firing a litle fiddly. *EDIT* apparently clicking the left stick in now does this, not tried it though yet.

    Saw you playing it earlier and had a wee look through the achievement list and realised there was no original MGS on there. How come they missed it out? Something to do with Twin Snakes being tied to a different company or anything like that?

      Started MGS2 earlier & it's just sublime! Brings back so many memories of my PS2 days and when I was younger. The PS3 version looks great & the pad has analogue buttons (yay!!)

      Seperate Trophy lists for each games is great too with some really nice, obtuse ones to aim for.

      Well impressed with this.

        The rights to twin snakes are probably shared somewhere between silicon knights,Nintendo and Konami, so that may of caused problems, Goldeneye stye

        I read an about MGS1 that Bluepoint games said just said that uprezzing it didn't really do it any favours and it hasn't aged well alongside the others. It would of required a full remake ala Twin Snakes to make it fit.

        The PS3 version comes with a free download of MGS1, which I presume is the PS1 original that was already available.

          Other than half of the original on ps1 back in the day I have never played a MGS game.

          Have read a little about them today, am I best off starting with 2 or as the other two games sound quite prequelly starting with 3?
          Seeing as the story to 2 is quite tied up with part 1. Housemate has laid claim to Peacewalker already

            2 is a direct Sequel to 1 and is nonsensical enough even having played the original. I'd skip it and play 3 , which is a totally standalone stor. I also feel its the best out of the main 4 games.

                  Peace Walker looks unreal! Kojima's team were properly pushing the PSP with that game. The HD release is brilliant.

                  This is a bargain!!

                    Ta Boris, if there's a free download for that as well this is the best deal since the orange box, or metroid prime trilogy. Shops, HO!!!

                      There isn't a download for MGS1 in the PS3 version. There was suppose to be one in the LE but there isn't in any copies now.

                          Got this in town earlier today, but just got home from work. Am looking forward to getting stuck into Peace Walker. I played it on the PSP but gave up after deciding that the analog stick on that wasn't good enough to play the game so to be given a second chance through this HD remake is brilliant news. Looking forward to getting stuck into this tonight.

                            The original listing (quite a while ago now) for the Limited Edition (PS3 version) on Zavvi stated there would be a code for Metal Gear Solid (PSone) and copy of Metal Gear Solid 4 included in the package, but that was before the contents were confirmed/approved at Konami's end.

                            They changed the contents (to what comes with it now) once everything was sorted and informed anyone who had pre-ordered the original listing via e-mail. Well, as far as I know anyway.
